Potters Croft - Your Hosts

Jos and Stew Howden,

We were both brought up on Banks Peninsula on sheep and cattle farms in Pigeon Bay and Port Levy.

After farming and teaching for 30 years in Mid Canterbury along the Ashburton River, where we brought up our family of three, we decided it was time for a change. We sold the farm in 2009 and the lure of the hills and the sea at Akaroa,drew us back to our old roots.

This was when we purchased Potters Croft. Now our time is spent gardening and developing this property and Stew works as a part time skipper for the Akaroa Dolphin Fishing Charters.
